Em                      G 

i learned as i got older

that things don't stay the same

the folks the made you bolder 

Aren't all still in the game

                     C  D  Bm                  Em

cuz they pass on, yea they pass on

                 C  D                   Em

and we go on, when they're gone

cuz they pass on, yea they pass on

and we go on, when they're gone

and I learned as I got older

lessons of life and pain

and i wish that I could hold her

cuz it wouldn't have been the same

but she passed on, yeah she passed on

and we go on, when they're gone

but she passed on, yeah she passed on

and we go on, when they're gone

Instrumental verse and chorus. 

my sister's feeling sick

but she's a thousand miles away

and my brothers dan and tom

both are turning gray

and the time goes by, and your parents die

and your friends come by, but then it’s time

so hold them tight, and let them be

and share some love, and company

C                  D       G             C             D     G

and let your spirit flow,          let your spirit flow

You gotta let your spirit flow, Let your spirit flow

I’m gonna let you know,        That I love you so

Gotta let it grow,                    Let your spirit flow. 

[jam]

Let your spirit flow.  + one last C D G.
